Abstract
Deranged liver function tests are common in the diabetic population. Acute derangements are less common, however, and are usually secondary to viral or drug-related causes. A case of syphilitic hepatitis associated with positive anti-mitochondrial antibodies is described, where diagnostic confusion was present until characteristic features of the secondary phase of syphilis infection occurred.
